Nifty little rifle... When it first arrived the action was a little gritty, likely due to the factory machining oil, but just a touch of machine gunners lube and things got a lot smoother.

First trip to the range I put ~100 rounds through it while sighting in the apature "peep" sight. Suprisingly accurate as long as you check for barrel nut tightness every few mags... I did not clean it when new, or after the first range trip...put it away for six months, and then took it out again - this time putting ~200 rounds through it. Used a combination of CCI and Remington LR rounds, and no misfires with only one failure to feed... Gave it a good tear down and cleaning, only because I knew it could use it - it ran great dirty even during rapid fire mag dumps...

My only real gripe, and thus only 4/5 rating, is the fact that it has a small dovetail "rail" ontop of the reciever instead of a standard picatinny rail like the other AR platforms do... I had to purchase an adaptor to convert the dovetail to picatinny in order to mount a Bushnell red dot sight I had laying around... Judging from the reciever storage location in the stock, there is plenty of space to fit the receiver if it had been made with the larger picatinny rail...regardless of your optic of choice, there is no storage for it within the stock...

I ordered an additional mag, as there is storage space for two within the stock, along with one in the reciever when stowed...for whatever reason aftermarket mags for this rifle do not have the external retaining spring. Not sure what it does, or why the factory mags have it, but so far I have not noticed any difference between them while in use. Wish they made mags with more than eight rounds...score one for the Ruger 10/22...
